🌊 SKALE Partners with Moxy

In a landmark collaboration coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Atari, SKALE is thrilled to announce its partnership with Moxy, a video game esports dapp founded by the gaming icon Nolan Bushnell. Known as the father of modern gaming, Bushnell's creation of Atari and the classic game "Pong" laid the foundation for the gaming industry as we know it.

Moxy will migrate its Moxy Token (WMOXY) from Ethereum to the SKALE Protocol, harnessing SKALE's advanced gasless blockchain infrastructure. This move is projected to save Moxy approximately $3.5 million annually, funds that were previously consumed by gas fees. By eliminating these costs, Moxy can reinvest in enhancing its platform and user experience, driving forward the next generation of blockchain-based gaming.
